Today’s journalist knows being successful at telling the story takes more than one medium, more than one platform. Words, sounds and images don’t exist in isolation. Print, broadcast and online converge to communicate the message and to allow the reader or viewer to create an experience. To tell the story, it takes med...ia plus so much more.
At ACP’s 26th annual National College Journalism Convention, expect professional, idea-packed and sometimes provocative or humorous keynotes, breakout sessions and workshops from some of the best journalists, advisers and students in the country. It opens Thursday, Feb. 25, with intensive workshops, a stimulating keynote address and networking receptions, and continues on Friday and Saturday with a full program of more keynotes, scores of breakout sessions, displays and critiques. The convention ends Sunday morning after another set of breakouts, a final keynote and the presentation of the Best of Show awards. All sessions will be led by media professionals, accomplished student media advisers and a select group of student journalists.
Media + Knowledge. Learn new information about the basics, from writing to design to photography. Apply your knowledge to management, editing, ethics or the law. The program includes award-winning professionals and experienced media advisers all ready and willing to help you get better.
Media + Skills. Delve into a single topic in one of seven short courses, including new sessions in multimedia and accessing public records. Learn from a veteran expert and share with your peers.
Media + Networking. With hundreds of students and advisers from every part of the United States (Canada, too), you’re sure to make new friends and contacts at the ACP convention. Bring your work samples for a critique, and chat with professionals between sessions to make a connection.
Media + Fun. After hours, enjoy the relaxed warmth of Phoenix in February. Make plans with your new friends to enjoy the food and nightlife downtown, or take a quick trip on the new light rail to Tempe.
Media +
We know what you need and where you want to go. We’ll help you get there.

I cannot remember anything about the day in 1988 that the Supreme Court issued its decision on Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier. I cannot remember if my newspaper made a very big deal out of it, but the decision embarrasses the heck out me 20 years later.
